调制解调器:
调制解调器是一种硬件联网设备,其基本功能是将数据转换为信号。调制解调器对于拥有Internet访问很重要。调制解调器有两种类型:
1.内部调制解调器:
顾名思义,内置调制解调器是计算机内部的一部分。它通常随计算机一起提供,并且也已预先安装。关于内置调制解调器,最好的事情是它可以使用计算机的电源供电,并且不需要额外的电源即可工作。
2.外部调制解调器:
外部调制解调器与内部调制解调器一样安静,因为它还允许访问Internet。外部调制解调器是计算机的外部部件。当计算机无法在其内部安装内部调制解调器时,可以使用它。调制解调器通常通过串行或USB电缆连接到计算机,并且还需要外部电源才能运行。
